Elevational Patterns in Two Groups of Micromoths (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae, Alucitidae) in Tropical Forests of Mount Cameroon

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Tropical elevational gradients offer unique insights into ecological processes shaping biodiversity, although micromoths remain severely understudied, especially in the Afrotropics. We analysed species richness, community composition, elevational range size and wingspan of two micromoth families, many‐plumed moths (Alucitidae) and plume moths (

Flying by night: Comparing nocturnal pollinator networks over time in the Colorado Rocky Mountains

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 235-246, April 2025.
High rates of species turnover and plant–pollinator interactions were observed in moth pollen‐transport networks in Colorado summer 2021; however, networks maintained similar structures over the course of a season. Linkage density and robustness changed, but weighted nestedness, specialisation and weighted connectance did not; increasing floral ...

Identification of pollinators of lesser twayblade Neottia cordata with DNA barcoding reveals strong links with pine forest‐related fauna

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.
Many European terrestrial orchids are in decline. To curb this negative trend and preserve remaining populations, more ecological knowledge is needed. Surprisingly little is known yet about the identity and efficiency of pollinators of lesser twayblade Neottia cordata, a small terrestrial orchid species associated with pine trees through joint ...

Discreet but diverse and specific: Determining plant‐herbivore interactions across a species‐rich plant family in a tropical rain forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...

Montane willow scrub restoration in Scotland: reviewing 30 years of progress to reestablish the altitudinal treeline

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.
Many mountain woodlands across the globe have undergone anthropogenic degradation with negative implications for the ecological and socioeconomic systems dependent on them. Montane willows are arctic‐alpine species of high nature conservation concern within the altitudinal treeline.

Moths versus Bees: Contrasts in Habitat Preferences Across Barrens of the Northeastern USA

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
We investigated the response of bee vs. moth communities to abiotic and vegetation drivers in barrens across the Northeast USA. Bee and moth communities contrasted in their habitat preferences for abundance and species richness, but not for the Shannon‐Wiener Diversity Index. Our results suggest that barrens management for both closed and open canopies
